Extra Weight To Be Carried Through AH
the Inborn of Life.
[Sir Henry Thompson in Nineteenth Century.]
There is that occasional vi.-it to the tailor,
who, tape in hand, announces in commer-
cial monotone to the listening clerk the var-
ious measurements of our girth, and con-
gratulates us on the gradual increase thereof.
He never in his life saw you looking so well,
and "fancy, sir, you are another inch below
your armpits"—a good deal below— 'since
last year f" insidiously intimating that in an-
other year or so you will have nearly as fine
a chest as Heenan I And you, poor deluded
victim, are more' than half willing to be-
lieve that your Increasing size is an equiva-
lent to increasing health and strength, es-
pecially as your wife emphatically takes
that view, and regards your augmenting
portliness with- approval.
Ten years have now passed away since
you. were 40, and by weight 12>£ stone—a
fair proportion for your height and build.
Now you turn the scale to one stone more,
every ounce of which is fat—extra weight
to be carried through all the labors of life.
If you continue your present dietary and
'habits and live Ave or seven years more
the burden of fat will be doubled, and: that
insinuating tailor will be still congratulating
you. Meantime you are "running the race .
of life"—a figure pf speech less appropriate
to you at tl^e present moment than it form-
erly was—handicapped by a weight which
makes .active movement! difficult, up-stair
ascents troublesome, respiration thick and
panting.
I Not one man in fifty lives', to a good old
age in this condition. The typical man of
80 or 90 years, still retaining a respectable
amount of energy of body and mind, is (lean
and spare, and lives on slender rations.
Neither your heart nor your lungs can act
easily and healthily, being oppressed' by the
gradually gathering fat around. And this
because you continue to: eat and drink as
you did, or even more lui uriously than you
did, when youth and activity disposed of
that moiety of food which was consumed
over and above what the body required for
sustenance.
Such is the import of that balance
of unexpended aliment which your tailor
and your foolish friends admire, and the
gradual disappearance of which, should you
recover your senses and d iminish it, they
■qriil still deplore,: half frightening you
:back to your old ha.bits again by saying:
:'You are growing thin; what can be the
matter with you?" Insane and mischievous
ielusion.
A Barber's History- of the "Machine Clip."
[Chicago Herald Interview.]
"Well, this down east Yankee went to
work on the mowing machine idea. In two
weeks he had his first machine constructed.
'Here Sam,' he says to the brush boy, 'I've
jot a little, mowing machine here for cut-
ting hair, an' I want to try it
an you.' The trial was made. But it wasn't
a succesa Hair flew all o rer the room, the
jhair was turned over, a nd Sam screeched
like a strawberry'vender. You see, the first
machine was'gearei a little too strong, and
it pulled. 'Dat's no mowin'. machine,'says
Sam, says he,* 'it's a potato diggah, dat's
what it am.' That night Sam rosigned his
place. The next night the new boy quit
with a white streak down the side of his head.
The third boy staid two days, and his
mother ■ then apprenticed him to a w'ig-
ruak.:r. The fourth bo}' stuck nearly a
week and then joined a juvenile pantomime
troupe to play 'Humpty Dumpty.'
1 "But in less than a month the Yankee, had
his machine down fine. Sho worked like a
charm. Just then the farmer came along
to have his hair cut. Tlip barber hitchei
up liis little machine and pranoed around his
head, making the hay seed and thistle down
fly like chad'out of a threshing machine.
.'Good job,' says a farmer, says' he, 'bow

Mr. Joseph Ross, of this place,. has'sent
your correspondent an interesting letter,
lie says he arrived at-Pari; on the 3d day of
June,having ma(le an extensive trip through
the Netherlands from Amsterdam. A great
deal of the land in Holl md has been sub-
merged land and has been reclaimed, and
that land is now worth $lt0Q0 per acre. It
ia the finest grazing country in the world.
There are no fences. All I arms are separated
by ditches filled with water and a great
portion of the land lies twelve feet below the
evelof the oceafl.' Large canals run through
different portions of the country and large
d fashioned wind mills dot the land all over
and are said to grind grain and saw logs
which, by the way, are rafted down the
canals from Norway and Sweden. The :far.
mers are all prosperous, m aking their wealth
by raising and selling Holstein cattle. His
trip to these parts was from London to Har- ■
wich. From there he crosied t he North sea
to Rotterdam, going from :here to Gouda'and
Md t&M to Hague, which is a very aristo-
erotic city His visit to the stock yards at
Amsterdam was very interesting. Nothing
^ut the very b.eat Qf beef cattle and milk cows
are allowed, there being a law debarring all
nferior stock from the market. All meat
and milk are inspected, nothing being allowed
n the market that is not first-class.

Mr. Joseph Ross, of this place,. has'sent
your correspondent an interesting letter,
lie says he arrived at-Pari; on the 3d day of
June,having ma(le an extensive trip through
the Netherlands from Amsterdam. A great
deal of the land in Holl md has been sub-
merged land and has been reclaimed, and
that land is now worth $lt0Q0 per acre. It
ia the finest grazing country in the world.
There are no fences. All I arms are separated
by ditches filled with water and a great
portion of the land lies twelve feet below the
evelof the oceafl.' Large canals run through
different portions of the country and large
d fashioned wind mills dot the land all over
and are said to grind grain and saw logs
which, by the way, are rafted down the
canals from Norway and Sweden. The :far.
mers are all prosperous, m aking their wealth
by raising and selling Holstein cattle. His
trip to these parts was from London to Har- ■
wich. From there he crosied t he North sea
to Rotterdam, going from :here to Gouda'and
Md t&M to Hague, which is a very aristo-
erotic city His visit to the stock yards at
Amsterdam was very interesting. Nothing
^ut the very b.eat Qf beef cattle and milk cows
are allowed, there being a law debarring all
nferior stock from the market. All meat
and milk are inspected, nothing being allowed
n the market that is not first-class.
